hello! I'm jean

I am chuffed to be writing for an ace blog ! This past week has been rather uneventful for me but this past month has been going pretty well. I've been seeing some brill indie artists like the wombats, adele, laura marling, and the ting tings. The ting tings are mint live- they really know how to put on a show. katie just really knows how to rock it, you know? she can rap and sing and dance all too well. And adele, her voice is mint too! She is much better live than her studio tracks and sounds even more blusey live. She told us she might buy a flat in on bedford ave in brooklyn, new york, USA. Willamsburg Brooklyn is a rubbish neighborhood, almost like Silver Lake, LA, California with hipsters galore. I don't get the massive appeal of that place. I prefer manhattan anyway. San fran, NYC, and LA are the only places in the USA that make sense in my mind. America is so bizzare. They have amazing metropolises- but once you end up in states like Montana you have meth addicted crackheads who defend the amendment "the right to bear arms" and will threaten to shoot you if you tresspass on their property. I wonder what the NRA will do since Charlton Heston has passed.

The other band I am completely obsessed with is the Wombats. They are so much fun. This was my third time seeing them live and I danced the night away with a new friend from Southfields. Ironically, all my london mates live in south london, I have yet to meet anyone that lives in a place like Kensington, Chelsea, Soho, or anywhere In Central London. I often dream of having a flat near Leicester Square one day.. sigh.

My next project is learning how to rap properly to one of sam's beats. I'm in the middle of producing it on garageband. It's something completely new to me. I've never tried rapping or writing lyrics to a song. I don't expect to win a Brit award or a USA grammy ever but I'm excited to help create a song.

I guess I am no Dizzee Rascal but I cannot wait to see his gig in July!
